The Cinema Ribbon loudspeak-
ers are designed to be used with
a subwoofer to fill in the lower
frequency range. They are not
designed to accept 400 watts of power at
the full frequency range.
Your system should be designed so
that the Cinema Ribbon loudspeakers
receive only the range above 80 Hz, with
a subwoofer to handle the frequencies
below 80 Hz.
Sunfire home theater processors and
receivers have a bass management sys-
tem that allows you to redirect the bass
frequency range of each channel to the
subwoofer. The advantages are :
• The overall bass of the system is
improved, as subwoofers, such as
Sunfire's powered True Subwoofers
are specially designed for this
frequency range.
• The subwoofer can simultaneously
play the bass from all of the loud-
speakers, in addition to it’s own low
frequency effects channel (LFE).
• There is no loss in perception of the
position of movie or music sound
effects, as the ear cannot easily
locate the position of bass sound
sources.
• Compact loudspeakers can be
used for front, center and sur-
rounds, as they do not have to
reproduce the low frequency range.
This leads to a saving in room
space.
• Your amplifiers do not waste power
reproducing the low frequency
range.
Follow the directions in your subwoof-
er's owner's manual, to find the best
location for your subwoofer.
